Spring Vore Content Preview (and a general update on things)
🕑 Added 2023-04-11 10:59:23 +0000 UTCHello Patrons!
I want to apologize for the long period of silence, I've been working on a lot of stuff, but a lot of my projects have ballooned in ambition, and I think I've unintentionally wound up overloading myself. A sequence that started out as 3-drawings became 8, before eventually becoming a full comic page with lots of dialogue - essentially, things quickly got out of hand and content I had hoped to have finished before the end of March has grown into this massive undertaking that couldn't possibly be completed within a reasonable time frame.
Still, some pieces are further along than others, so here's a preview of a few of the things I've been working on.
The top left sketches are from a sequence that has a larger accompanying narrative that I'd like to pair it with in some form or another. I dream of one day having a long-form comic series centered around my original characters with an overarching plot and lots of world-building. This would allow my characters to show more of their personality, and would allow for more interesting dynamics to play out with stakes and consequences. Unfortunately just due to time and workload that's beyond my capability right now.
Even without a comic series, I like to keep continuity in mind when I make content featuring my recurring OCs (Reika & Jae, currently). As I've mentioned elsewhere, I generally like my vore non-fatal, but I also like digestion, and so a lot of my work may have non-canon alt endings featuring digestion. The work on the bottom left is an example of that - it's a follow up to my first piece.
I want to change my approach going forward and focus on smaller, one-off pieces that I can finish in a much shorter time span. I think this will help me maintain a sense of momentum and build up more of a portfolio. The middle-left piece is a non-vore example of that. When I have a more established presence online and have a better sense of what I can create within a given time-frame, hopefully I can put time aside to work on my more ambitious projects.
I want to stress that I'm quite new to this whole space. I don't have a lot of experience with Patreon or managing a social media presence - in fact, having Patrons for the first time has been kind of mind-blowing! It's thanks to you guys that this whole endeavor feels doable for me, and I'm incredibly grateful for your support! In the wake of all the positive reception my original work received, however, I think I wound up getting ahead of myself and tried to do everything at once - typical ADHD behavior, if I'm being honest.
I think that's an important thing to mention because I'm still learning how to work with it, and it's always going to have an affect on my content. My ADHD is something I've only known about for 2 years now and it's still a bit of a learning process finding what works and what doesn't in terms of managing my time and energy without burning myself out too quickly. I have some of it to thank for my meticulousness and attention to detail, but it makes it really hard to finish projects instead of starting something new. Still, in time (and with the right medication) I'll hopefully find a rhythm that will allow me to produce content on a more regular basis. While I hope to keep you guys updated more often, my output is probably going to continue to be sporadic for a while, and I appreciate you all bearing with me during this early chaotic period.
- Also, I have more W.I.P. content to share that's more suited to its own separate post. That'll be coming soon, so stay tuned!

Ah, the never ending struggle of wanting to develop a whole world and plot just for our character's to thrive in. Yep, I feel you. Start small and keep the pace. I believe you'll manage to grow in time :)

That would be really cool, actually! I can message you later with some info on Reika if you'd like (personality, backstory, whatever you need) ^-^

I love everything you propose us especially the part where reika decided to keep jae in her stomach a little too long. Don't over do it if you want to stay in time. Don't force yourself to make content, it must come from you and of course you also need to find the courage to not procrastinate too much. Don't get into the mindset of owing things to your patrons, tell yourself rather that he pays to have access to my existing content or to support my work without real counterpart. It is indeed necessary for you to have at least one or two contents more or less fast to produce and to share for your lower tier each month, the higher tier you can feed them with teaser, sketch etc. but that, you already do it well. For the moment the problem is that you are in a phase where you haven't created a lot of content yet so it's complicated for you to share free content on eka or deviant art regularly to attract people on patreon... but for that I'll help you a bit with fanart etc. My style is faster to produce and I will be able to redirect people to the premium high quality version lol, I will put a short sequence in my game too with reika if you agree on the designs the dialogues and especially if you allow me to do it.
